Netflix gives users unlimited movie viewing online

A few days before Apple is expected to announce some enhancements to the movie department of iTunes, Netflix is getting rid of the limits on its movie streaming service, Watch Now, for all but its lowest tier of subscribers. (Those pay just $4.99 a month.) PaidContent has a wrap-up posting.

About Me

For about the last ten years, I've been writing about innovation for publications like the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Wired, Variety, Fast Company, the Hollywood Reporter, Salon.com, BusinessWeek, and Newsweek.
I helped start (and continue to help run) three conferences: Future Forward, the Nantucket Conference on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and Convergence: The Life Sciences Leaders Forum. I also often speak and moderate at other people's conferences, and serve as a commentator on TV and radio. (Which beats actual work.)
